THE MAYORALTY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING POST.

Sib — Grant mo one favour. Kindly allow mo to say that I am neither a General Government official nor a Civil Servant. lam a shorthand writer, omployod by the Parliament on account of my skill, just as you might employ a dootor or a lawyer. lam as much the servant of Sir George Grey, Mr. Macandrow, or any other member of the Opposition, as I am of tho Government. Ono further boon. How true it is that while one man may steal a horse another may not look through the hedge. Mr. Hutchison has for three years been in constant attendance in that sumo Parliament where I have been in constant attendance myself, and I am snro ho will not say that he has nogloctod his munioipal duties. A last request. Tho work I have done in the Council, whether much or little, has all been performed undor those very circumstances whiohyour correspondent ¦ays would render it impossible for me to do the work. Then I have accomplished the impossible. P.S.— Why don't somo of these "Burgossos" and "Onlookers" and "Ratepayers " put their names to tho bottom of their letters P I am, &c, Geo. Fisher.
